Harris & Moure, pllc has grown quickly by providing top-flight representation to our clients on their international law and trade, corporate, real estate, litigation, and maritime matters. A number of the world's leading law firms have selected our attorneys to assist on matters requiring expertise in overseas dispute resolution. Martindale Hubbell, by far the preeminent lawyer rating guide, awarded Harris & Moure its highest "AV" rating, as determined by prominent lawyers and judges. Our focus is on the small and medium sized business that operates internationally. We also operate ChinaLawBlog.com as a source of China legal and business information for our clients and others interested in China.

Like the best international companies, we think globally and act locally. Our attorneys have handled legal matters around the world and throughout the United States. We have done this by developing close relationships with a worldwide network of key personnel, including government officials, consultants, expert witnesses, local legal counsel, and ship's agents critical to getting the job done for our clients.

But it is our client relationships that set us apart. The following three rules guide us on every matter and constitute the essense of our firm:

1. Everything we do for our clients is in the context of a long-term relationship.
   
   Our goal is never merely the completion of some particular task. Our goal is always the thoughtful furtherance of our client's overall business objectives. What we are doing for a client at any one time, however important, is just one component of an alliance stretching far into the future.



2. Effective client relationships require absolute trust. Absolute trust requires absolute integrity.
   
   We strive to ensure that our relationships with our clients are great from day one. But as the relationship matures, we want our clients to stop thinking of us as an external service provider, and start thinking of us as an extension of their business. We want to be your trusted partner.



3. A good job isn't good enough. Only excellence is good enough.
   
   We have absolutely no interest in providing service that is 'adequate' or merely 'competent.' Our standard is different: a customer must always get more from us than they have reason to expect. Hold us accountable. We want that.

We obviously cannot tell you everything about our capabilities on our web site, nor, most importantly, can we discuss exactly how we can help you with your particular legal needs. For that, we urge you to go to our contact us page and tell us a bit about your situation so we can know how we can assist. Our initial consultations are always free.
